Imagine my delight when I saw this. Atlantic ocean on the right the Bahama bank on the left and a thin layer of clouds just like the island.
What an amazing match of form and texture! The scene is so simple yet very powerful and beautiful. This is the kind of scene that makes me slow down and think.
It is not complicated (rocks, water, sky) but is just so powerful and bold that it really grabs my attention.
At first I didn't like the road and power lines, but I think they help add a little context. If they weren't there, then this scene would look timeless and like it came from yesterday or a billion years ago. The human element, although a bit distracting from the natural beauty, helps to make a better connection with the landscape.
My only complaint about this is the strong yellow cast on the left. It looks like a yellow filter has been applied over the water and clouds - and that's okay to warm up the colors, but I think it's a bit too strong and the transition out of the filter is too abrupt.
I very much appreciate all your comments and support, this is one of my favorite places.
TJ, thanks for your critique, you are becoming as good at critiquing as you are at photography, and that's excellent. This is an HDR and I agree I'd tone down the yellow to print it.
Canon 5DmkII, 16-35mm at 16mm, iso100, 1/6 sec at f/9.5, +CPL I feel like I'm in a creative rut maybe it's the rain, pretty much straight for 3 weeks. I want to think that's the reason but it's probably not. It is to easy to go back to the same place with the same equipment and shoot the same shot with a different sky. I don't want a break I want an idea. So I'll go searching... I know this is a universal phenomena, any comments would be appreciated.
Canon 5DmkII, 70-200mm at 125mm, iso100, 1/4 sec at f/11.0, +12 ext tube I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge -- myth is more potent than history -- dreams are more powerful than facts -- hope always triumphs over experience -- laughter is the cure for grief -- love is stronger than death This image is inspired by the wonderful work of Diane Varner please visit her amazing photography at Daily Walks
Canon 5DmkII, 16-35mm at 16mm, iso100, 1.5 sec at f/11.0, +CPL Responsibility does not only lie with the leaders of our countries or with those who have been appointed or elected to do a particular job. It lies with each of us individually. Peace, for example, starts within each one of us. When we have inner peace, we can be at peace with those around us. HH The Dalai Lama
